It was a warm and sunny Memorial Day weekend on Hangman Hill. We played in the garden, both planting flowers and veggies and harvesting our first crops of the season. Strawberries are here about a week earlier than normal, and the gooseberries are also ahead of the curve. Who knows what we'll be entering on the North Stonington Fair this year?
On Friday night Bruno treated us to a trip to Northampton, MA to see The Proclaimers at the Iron House Cafe! The Iron House is a great venue, we saw Junior Brown at the same venue about time last year. We were thrilled to get seats just off the stage. We enjoyed dinner, desert, coffee and the opening act...and then they cancelled. One of the two singers didn't have a voice, or so it seems. So, with great disappointment we wandered around Northampton and enjoyed a warm spring evening along with all the parents in town for graduation.
On a brighter note, we finally have poppies in bloom (Sheri has been working at this for 10 years)!
We also had our first strawberries. Only 4, so far, but so sweet!
Carrots, peas, lettuce, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, onions, leeks, potatoes and strawberries, oh my, are in training as future candidates for Face of Produce. In the meantime a few updates from inside.
Bruno has been nurturing Amaryllis bulbs we sent to Mimi as a gift (she sent them back). To our delight one has bloomed again, rewarding us with 4 bright red flowers.
